Buckling

In science, buckling is a mathematical instability, leading to a failure mode. Theoretically, buckling is caused by a bifurcation in the solution to the equations of static equilibrium. At a certain stage under an increasing load, further load is able to be sustained in one of two states of equilibrium: an undeformed state or a laterally-deformed state.In practice, buckling is characterized by a sudden failure of a structural member subjected to high compressive stress, where the actual compressive stress at the point of failure is less than the ultimate compressive stresses that the material is capable of withstanding.

… others did not (the goofy way Channing Tatum writes emails). 4. RIP, ‘The Interview’ Sony caved after multiple theater chains refused to air “The Interview” in the wake of the ongoing scandal. The studio canceled the Christmas Day release of the comedy — across all platforms. The buckling under pressure struck just about everyone as a cowardly…
